Karim is originally from Guatemala and emigrated to the United States in 1992. Karim and her husband homeschooled their three children from preschool to college. She is an expert in foreign language learning, and is particularly focused on providing strategic advice and encouragement for Hispanic homeschooling families.
Karim holds her master’s degree in curriculum and instruction, earned at George Mason University in Virginia. For more than 25 years, she has been teaching and serving the Hispanic community through educational advice, mentoring, and counseling. One of her passions is to equip parents to lead their children's education and advocate for what is best for them. She is convinced that homeschooling can bridge the academic gaps that sometimes exist in the Hispanic community.
Besides her homeschooling experience, Karim is a certified Spanish teacher with 16 years of teaching experience in public schools. In her work with HSLDA, Karim dedicates her time to upholding Hispanic leaders who support homeschooling and Hispanic parents who wish to educate at home. She aims to encourage parents to continue their homeschooling journey and enjoy their children. Beyond her position at HSLDA, Karim is passionate about cultures, multicultural work, and programs that advance higher education.
